I heard of people uses the ae86 front brakes on old corollas and 80s corollas. Never seen one done on a te51. What all would have to be done? Is there links to threads of this conversion on other cars.? I just thinking of sense I'm working on the car why not redo the brakes also. It damn sure needs it that's all I know.

Welding/filling the holes on the AE86 brake dust shield, then redrilling to suit whatever strut you have. The only reason I did this is because I already had modified AE71 struts with coilovers on them and didn't want to buy new hardware/re-fab the coilovers, so in my case this was the "simpler" (read: much more complicated) solution to an easy problem haha!
